Shared Team Members

With Mi Fu

Rossi is a second Physical damage pillar on the same Vulnerability uptime — she clears with Mi Fu rather than enabling her.

With Wulfgard

Rossi converts Vulnerability uptime into Physical clear speed. Beside Wulfgard, she is a second Physical damage pillar that wants the same Vulnerability setup.

With Mi Fu

Chen Qianyu Staggers and Lifts so Crush/Vulnerability actually sticks before Mi Fu spends her burst.

With Wulfgard

Chen Qianyu opens Physical setups with Lift and Stagger. She creates the Crush / Vulnerability windows Wulfgard needs before the big Physical dump.
